Here's a filter I patched together from several others. Impulsive buying and pvt trend filter to identify strong stocks, with sudden rsi drop filter to catch them on dips. Also filtered by slope of SPY (thanks Kevin and four).

Using an rsi(2) >70 exit and no SL or TP reduced maximum profit in good times, but seems to reduce drawdown during bad times and improved the overall win %. (Using SL and TP it had over 700% ROI during some periods but lost money during the crash.)

It tests at over 300% ROI during good times and survived the 2008-9 crash ( 7/25/2008 to 4/24/2009) still making 150% ROI

I'm curious what people think about this one. Is it too highly filtered to be reliable? Any criticisms or suggestions for improvement are welcome.

show stocks where count(RSI(2) 2 day ago above 90,60) is above 0
and RSI(2) is below 20
and average volume(10) above 100000
and close one day ago more than 8% below close 2 day ago
and close more than 4% below close 1 day ago
and close above 0.99

617 hits from Friday.

Any thoughts on how to narrow these down?

I ran a 2 year backtest from 9/17/08 through 9/17/10.

Trade Statistics:
There were 134 total stocks entered. Of those, 134 or 100.00% were complete and or 0.00% were open.
Of the 134 completed trades, 89 trades or 66.42%resulted in a net gain.
Your average net change for completed trades was: 4.93%.
The average draw down of your approach was: -12.23%.
The average max profit of your approach was: 12.02%
The Reward/Risk ratio for this approach is: 2.42
Annualized Return on Investment (ROI): 189.65%, the ROI of ^SPX was: -3.43%.

2008: No stocks selected.
2009: 124 stocks selected (avg. 5.52% @ 6.4 day avg hold time).
2010: 10 stocks selected (avg. -2.31% @ 6.2 day hold time).
Avg entry price: $4.66 per share
Many trades were bunched together.

Great filter! did some tweaking and back testing and also got good results.

I mostly trade options so I included: and stocks are optionable

I also included: and where market cap is between 400 and 90000 (to eliminate small companies that are not very liquid)

This reduced the amount of hits significantly so I changed:
and close one day ago more than 5% below close 2 day ago
and close more than 2% below close 1 day ago


It does not get a huge amount of triggers, but when it does trigger I found its better to wait until the stock opens and closes above the closing price on the day of the trigger before buying. If this doesn't happen within 3 days of the trigger then don't take the trade. This helps avoid some of the larger losing trades.

I can't get it work either. In debug last line shows 0% result hence filter doe not pick any stocks. Though there is not a singal syntax error
